The point of the game is fighting with pokemon, fictional animals. This is framed as positive in universe, but animals are still trained to fight until they faint. They can be healed with items.

Origin palkia/dialga are..unsettling too say at least. Palkia becomes a photo-realistic horse, and dialga becomes a bootleg evangelion angel. The transformation is not shown on screen and it is not implied that they are in pain. Still this might be triggering.
Your character is a kid, 15, and you're told if you were to fail to join the Galaxy Team you'd die alone in the wilds. You can't die in Pokemon so it's not a real threat, but it is mentioned.
A variety of Ghost-type Pokémon, including the Gastly/Haunter/Gengar line and Drifloon/Drifblim, who serve the role of night-time spawns and general creepiness. Spiritomb is also in the game.
Not unless you pick the wrong gender for yourself at the start. The characters gender you kind of aggressively compared to other Pokemon games, which was something that stuck out to me and my other nonbinary friends.
Arceus, the Pokémon equivalent of a universe-creating god, is featured prominently, and worship of Legendary Pokémon is a major aspect of the game’s world, primarily among the Diamond and Pearl clans.
